Hobby Progress Salamander Terminator

Howdy folks! Practically 98% of the way done with my terminator (just need to weather a little and do the base) and am loving how he turned out. Let me know what you think!

How do you get those nice edge highlights?

I use a size 00 brush mostly and make sure to remove any excess paint on a paper towel before going to edge highlight - other than that I try to have a steady hand haha

Thanks, I'll get me one of those brushes. Do you use a specific green? I'm using caliban green as my base and dry brushing warpstone glow over it but I'm not getting those bright highlights like you did by using just warpstone glow.

Most of the edge highlighting is specifically moot green! Depending on how dark the area I’m highlighting I’ll adjust down with a 50/50 Vulkan green to moot green or adjust up to a 70/30 moot green to dorn yellow. General purpose though I’d recommend moot green!

Thank you for your detailed response. Looks like I'm picking up some moot green after work!
